Message to Lakers Fans: Byron Scott is a Terrible Coach and Should Never Be in LA

By Craig Kwasniewski

Byron Scott was fired this afternoon as head coach of the NOLA Hornets. Really it was never a matter of if or even when but more like it's about damn time. Two teams, two firings, two times having feuds with All-Star point guards, two times with the locker room eventually tuning him out... this is a pattern not a matter of diminishing talent in either of his stints with New Jersey or New Orleans. Byron Scott is a terrible coach plain and simple.

And I haven't even mentioned his X and O's skills. Let's just say, he's very Mike Brown on the offensive end of the floor. The Hornets literally ran one single solitary play with the high screen and roll with the center. It worked a lot two years ago simply because of Chris Paul's immense talent and the chemistry between him and Tyson Chandler. But better coached teams like San Antonio and the Lakers eventually exposed their bland offense game plan.

Hell he even ran zone last night against the Suns, who by the way happen to be the best three point shooting team in the NBA. To the surprise of nobody the Suns killed NOLA last night. Come on people!

And now to my point... Lakers fans for the most part are excited at the notion of Byron Scott "coming home" to LA to coach the Lakers once Phil Jackson retires. Are you kidding me? The guy has been fired twice for basically the same reason... this is what we commonly refer to as a pattern. Being a member of "The Lakers Family" doesn't mean they should roll out the red carpet and hire the guy. In fact, if we're talking Byron Scott and family... we'll this is the one time I'll accept a little domestic violence. There's no way in hell a franchise like the Lakers should waste any time on Bryon Scott as a coach.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about. Scott has been succcessful with the Nets, who haven't won anything since he took them to the Finals...twice! As for the Hornets, he was the best coach in team history, and they will miss him like a man dying of thirst misses water. You are exaggerating the reasons he was fired. His problems were with management, not with Kidd, and certainly not with Paul.

The Hornets were mismanaged by upper level management, who traded Chandler, who was Paul's best weapon, and so many other good players now starting for other teams. They undermined Scott, and made his job impossible. They will regret this, and they will lose Paul in the near future, who will begin to demand a trade. When he comes back from injury, he will not have the same energy or commitment to the Hornets organization.

After running down several groups early on, we shut it down and spent the remainder of the trip in one area watching for surfacing shrimp. The kids caught 34 trout and reds big enough to keep had they chosen to do so. Believe me when I tell you that they kept score. I gave them the option of fishing longer if we did not have to use some of their alloted time cleaning fish and they agreed to that deal. We did keep a few slot reds for a fish fry.
